    S2000 calipers upgrade complete!

    If you cant't get your hands on a Type S swap, S2000 works as well. I think they fill out the wheels much better now!

    are these s2k disks as well? what did you do on the rear? or are those from the s2k the same as the ones on our car as well

    also from what i understand the s2k calipers are the exact same as the type s calipers

    OH also what disks are those that you used?

    Is the brake distribution the same between F+R? Did you have to change out the Master Cylinder or any other brake components? They look good.

    I bought EBC Type S ultimax rotors. 150 bucks for the pair.
    S2K and Type S calipers actually look different and the part #'s are different which threw me off at first. Luckily they fit no problem. Oh and I used ATE Superblue.
    I just left the rears as is.

    Waiting for my master cylinder still, but honestly, not much change in the brake feel to me. I will wait until the weather is a bit better to really try them out.

    so the only diffrence is the offset on the rotors and the location of the calipers on the s2000 hub v.s the rsx/ep3 hub :)


    Are the rsx-s master cylinder the same as the ep3 type r one?

    Offset remains the same at +45.
    I can't 100% say for certain the MC's are the same, but the majority tend to say they are on clubrsx.

    The s2k brakes are pretty strong for a honda.

    Ah yes, rotor offset is different, thats why I had to get the Type-S rotors.

    What more info do you need?? If you are 5 lug its a straight swap. Buy a s2k caliper (if you cant find a rsx-s one) and a rsx-s rotor (any car parts store will have) and you have a complete swap. Don't bother with the rear though because they are all the same size. If you're 4 lug then you need a 5 lug swap from either 04-05 Ep3, 02-04 Rsx-s - base rsx.

    NOte: If you get the 02-04 RSX-S 5 lug swap you will need 02-04 RSX-S axles!!! Other then that your OE's will work.
